Role Description

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff for our Vice President of Platform. You'll get to work on a wide range of strategic and meaningful projects that have the potential for impact across Platform and the entire organization.

You’re a team player, and relish collaborating with colleagues across the org - understanding that the biggest problems at the global level can only be solved by cross-functional teams.
